New Favorite Hideaway

We came to the area from out of town to visit family. As a mother of several adult children, I wanted a relaxing atmosphere with a more homey feel than a hotel. The house is beautiful. The kitchen had all the necessary appliances. And the property was located in walking distance to downtown, shops as well as the beach and water front. Definitely want to come back.
